Nikita on the cheap

Back in the day, I used to watch La Femme Nikita on USA pretty religiously. It was produced and created by the cat who did 24 (and several Nikita alumni have been on it). It's a show about this chick who is profiled to be an ultimate super agent killing machine, so she's framed for a murder and broken out to live this secret life.

It was kinda low budget, the male lead was a shitty actor, and frankly a bit over the top, but I really did like it. It was totally a precursor to 24 and Alias. It had a very loyal fanbase that saved the show long enough to wrap up the story line.

Anyway, I never got it on DVD because each season was like $70 or more, apparently because of the costs to license the music in the show. So Diana and I were browsing at BJ's on a trial membership, and there they were... all five seasons for $20 each. Obviously I had to buy them.

No idea when I'll get to watch them all. We still haven't watched season 3 of Veronica Mars!

Season 3 of VM was good, but not as good as the previous two, tbh. Still better than most shows, though.
